Mollie Sue's 'Model' Talk! Plus, 'CSI,' 'Earl' and Guest Star News

This week's elimination on America's Next Top Model came down to personality. Unfortunately for Mollie Sue (left - photo courtesy UPN), the judges felt that she just didn't have the right one for the competition. Blame it on her nerves. "I just became so completely nervous. It was so intimidating," the 25-year old Tampa waitress told bloggers last night during a teleconference. "Being a fan of the show for so long, this was so huge for me." Mollie Sue says that she was "so glad" that guest Nick Cannon said that she had a huge personality during this week's improv exercise with the Drumline actor. One thing she wasn't nervous about was her makeover. "I was hoping to walk in and have them hack [my hair] all off," she says enthusiastically. Nor was she nervous about the shoot that found the girls wearing bald caps. She says she was very happy with the way the picture turned out. "It was a really cool idea for a first shoot," she explains. She counts the falling fairy tale shoot as her most challenging, explaining that it was difficult to get all the elements right. "You'd get your body right and then your face would be wrong," she recalls. She says the experience was frustrating, especially since it appeared as if that she wasn't trying. Like last week's eliminee, Gina, Mollie Sue has nothing but nice things to say about fellow contestant Danielle. "She's one of the most amazing people I've ever met. One of my top 5 people ever," Mollie Sue says sincerely. She'd like to see Danielle win the competition, saying that she has "that package" of the right personality and look. Mollie Sue began modeling when she was 15 years old after her mother showed her pictures of Twiggy. She says she finally saw a model that she could relate to, being that awkward skinny girl. She also counts Kate Moss as one of her aspirations, and she plans to keep pursuing this dream. In fact, the recently married model is moving to New York next week to try to make her dream come true. And she offers this advice to all the girls out there hoping to live the same dream that she lived on America's Next Top Model: "Just be yourself." America's Next Top Model airs Wednesday nights on UPN.


Last night's psychic-inspired episode of CSI presented the age-old discussion between science and the occult. Did psychic Sedona really foresee her own death, or was it all apart of her moneymaking business and the power of suggestion? We know that she didn't know that Gordon Wallace killed his wife and buried her in Summerlin. Grissom found a note in Sedona's notebook that said Wallace's wife is in Summerland, a pagan mystical place where souls go before they reincarnate, not Summerlin as Detective Jameson heard. As Greg so appropriately reiterated, Detective Jameson's hearing of Summerlin instead of Summerland, which led him to the body, was all an indication of the power of suggestion. So powerful, that it ended up costing Sedona her life. It seems she never saw that coming.


Was Juliette Lewis born to play that role on My Name is Earl last night, or what? She was perfect as the revenge-seeking Jessie. So Earl married Joy after her friends spotted him in a bar and she decided that he would make the perfect provider for her and her unborn child. In an effort to coax him into marrying a random pregnant woman, her friends got him drunk and the two were married. Too bad that left Jessie, Earl's girlfriend at the time, on the outs, but it did set up a funny confrontation when she found out. Joy knocked out her two front teeth in the altercation. Now, seven years later, Jessie wanted her revenge, so she trained as a bounty hunter to get Joy for a $200 traffic ticket she skipped out on. I loved Randy's Mad-Libs scenes and Joy's second fight that knocked out Jessie's two now-gold front teeth. Classic Joy, and classic funny.
